cheatsheet : just use these
Upto 6 best, 10 is difficult
12 gives negative returns
Each color should serve a purpose
Luminance contrast between foreground and background
If you can’t do that,border them.
Muted colors for large areas
High saturation color for small areas
Natural colors for most
Bright / dark colorsto highlight
Color sequence for data maps
Use same backgroundPS: Gradients suck (mostly)
If it’s not data:delete it,
make it grey,Or mute it.

Don’t use red and greenin the same interface
if you want to address most color deficiency cases.
